This error can arise in various contexts, such as when creating or updating production orders, purchase orders, or other related documents.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Unit of Measure: The unit of measure for the order quantity is not defined in the system for the material or product being processed.

  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Material Master:
